00:00Now, they are really good, I think, offensively.

00:04I think they are legit.

00:06I don't deny Aaron Glenn's defense either.

00:08They seem to step up, but they got their hands full tomorrow night.

00:14They are going to have their hands full tomorrow night, and yes, we decided, I know for people

00:18just checking in, we decreed here on Coast to Coast a while ago that once the Super Bowls

00:25started reaching the 50s, as in Super Bowl 50 and on, any championships before Super

00:31Bowl I don't matter anymore.

00:33So anything that happened in the 50s and 40s and 30s, all those NFL titles, they are off

00:38the board.

00:39We have reached 50 Super Bowls.

00:40The Super Bowl is all that matters.

00:42They should just basically mean like you never won a championship at this point.

00:45But yes, the Detroit fans are starved for a football championship.

00:51Dan Campbell is hoping to bring that to them.

00:54It is unique, and I go back to, look, it was one of the, it's one of the things that

00:57was, I go back to this, it was one of the things that for somebody like me was appealing

01:02about playing here, wanting to play here, and coach here.

01:06This is a sleeping giant for football.

01:08And they, you know, Pistons have had success, Red Wings have had success, but the Lions

01:13have never had success.

01:14And just to be able to unlock everything, you know, this is a sports town, and for every

01:24body to feel like they're a part of it, like, man, this is, this is our team, and they represent,

01:32they represent us, you know, and what they're about and the way they play, we can, we can

01:35stand behind that.

01:37Listen, there's no denying that they're passionate and they're starved for a championship, but

01:44let's face facts.

01:45The Red Wings are the best team that the city's ever known.

01:49That's just all there is to it.

01:50The Pistons did great a couple times.

01:53The Tigers were great once.

01:56And all I know is the Lions have never done it.

02:00They've never done it.

02:01Let's face facts.

02:02Michigan football is 10 times bigger in Ann Arbor, an hour north, is 10 times bigger than

02:09all of them, than every team.

02:11Every pro team in Detroit can't hold a candle to the Michigan Wolverines in football.

02:17And they don't even care about Michigan basketball, believe me, in Detroit.

02:20They don't.

02:21They don't care about it.

02:22And then they had the Fab Five, but that was it.

02:25Let's face facts.

02:26I mean, I've been to more Stanley Cup finals in Detroit than I have anything else.

02:31The Red Wings are the toast, even though no one at the end of the day cares about hockey.

02:38We joke all the time how much we love, everybody loves hockey, but no one really gives a rat's

02:42ass about it.

02:43But they are the best team in Detroit.

02:44They always have been.

02:47It is a hockey town for a reason, I suppose.

02:51Yeah.

02:52A hockey town.

02:53They love all that.

02:54The hockey town talk.

02:55They got cups.

02:56That they do there.

02:57They got cups.

02:58They do have that.

02:59They have got cups in Detroit.

03:00Like this conversation that Gabe and I had the other day about championships, like I'm

03:05not from that side of the river that they don't mean anything.

03:08Like once all that time has passed, you know, bullshack, no one ever forgets championships.

03:17What they forget is the losses that those are the ones that drive them nuts, that they

03:22don't finish.

03:23Like, you know, I don't think the Red Wings liked 08 or 09 when the Penguins beat them

03:27in seven at Joe Lewis.

03:29All I know is they remember titles in every city.

03:33In Miami, they still toast the 72 Dolphins every year.

03:38That's all they have to live on.

03:39They have nothing.

03:40The Miami Canes won five national championships.

03:43That's all they hang their hat on.

03:44That's all they have.

03:46I mean, they'll never, it'll never change.

03:47The Steelers six, the Penguins five, the Pirates two.

03:51That's all they hang their hat on.

03:52That's it.

03:53It's that simple.

03:55It is that simple.

03:56Of course, on the other side, we have the Washington Commanders.

04:00What a year.

04:01First year, Dan Quinn and Jaden Daniels in town for them.

04:05But Quinn knows this is going to be a challenge against this Lion offense on Saturday night.

04:10They've had a fantastic year, just utilizing guys in different ways.

04:14The production, I think, is what just absolutely jumps out to you for different players.

04:19And so, sometimes you may see one player just absolutely off the charts.

04:24But when it's spread, you know, so much, that's a big difference.

04:28And that's what makes their offense, you know, such a unique challenge.

04:33I don't think they have enough weapons to go, you know, on some toe-to-toe banger with

04:38them all night.

04:39You know, J.F. McLaurin, to me, is the man.

04:42And then, you know, Ross St. Brown, it goes on and on with the, you know, Laporta.

04:48They have all these other guys, Gibbs, that produce at a high level.

04:53I think this is going to actually be the one game that's the, you know, the track meet.

04:57I think this is going to be a track meet.

04:59I do.

05:00I don't think there's going to be any stopping either one of them.

05:02But Jaden Daniels is going to score.

05:04And I think Detroit, obviously, is going to score more.

05:08And the Commanders somehow stay within that nine and a half.

05:12Yeah.

05:13And look, you're also, you talk about track meet, obviously, the totals telling you that.

05:18But this is also the two of the top five coaches that go for it the most on fourth down.

05:24And these are two of the top five teams that have punted the least in the NFL this year.

05:30So they do not like to give the football away.

05:32They want to keep the ball.

05:34This was eight and a half yesterday.

05:35We're back up to nine and a half here today with a 55 and a half.

05:39I'm going to run out of time here.

05:40I have some numbers for you about the total that I will give you on the other side.

05:44Well, I want to see that.

05:46But I've always been on the nine and a half with the Commanders, and it's very dangerous.

05:51I don't deny with that offense of the Lions, I think the key for the Commanders in my book

05:57is that they get out, get the ball, score first.
